Hello, Everyone:
Congratulations to all of you for completing your first AP-Level Exam. You all worked very hard, and I'm sure that you will all be successful.
As we will not be meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday (I know, you are all totally CRUSHED by this), here's your assignment(s). For those of you with religious observances/obligations, should you require more time to complete the assignment, please see me, and we can discuss this privately.
So...Here's your mission.
1. CLICK HERE. Download the Power Point. Study it VERY CAREFULLY.
2. CLICK HERE. Download the Rubric. Review it carefully, so you may have an understanding as to how you will be graded on the DBQ section of your exam.
3. CLICK HERE. Download, and print the documents. READ, and HIGHLIGHT key points in the documents; in other words, what information in the documents will help you answer the question "Why did New England and Chesapeake developed into different societies by the 1700's?"

HW - Wednesday Sept 24th
Congratulations, APUSHers!
Your hard work and diligence has paid off. NO HW TUESDAY night. Relax, take it easy.
The assignment below, however, is due on Thursday. If you so choose, you can do it tonight, and not have homework tomorrow night. But, that's up to you.
1. Review Chapter 3 and your outline
2. Click Here
3. Print, and complete.
I will be collecting this assignment from 7 people at random. I will grade this as a 25 point quiz. I will take the grades of all 7 people, and average them together. Their grade = your grade. Remember, we play as a TEAM! Our success is dependent on the success of each person.
Thanks to Gabby for pointing out what I took for granted. The terms at the top of the page in the boxes are to be used to fill in the blanks.

APUSH EXAM 9/28/08
Hello, Everyone:
To give you some advance notice, we're going to be having our first major exam on Monday the 28th of Sept.
This mental exercise (I prefer that to "test") will assess your knowledge of the events from the 1600's to Approximately 1763. Basically, English settlement and colonization from Jamestown, to the French and Indian War
You can find this information in Chapters 2 and 3 of your review book. Feel free to use that, as well as any other resources you may have to study. Check the links on this page to help you.
We will have between 40 and 50 multiple choice questions on the exam. You will be allowed to bring one (1) post-it (2x2) on which you can write down some important concepts, etc. which you can't remember.
The questions will be similar to those that you find in the review book, at the end of the chapter. You can also find questions on the different sites listed here on the blog. Don't worry. You've all been working very hard. I have no doubts that you will perform wonderfully.
Start studying now! Begin by highlighting your notes, or outlines, then rewrite them, using only the highlighted information. Repeat the procedure, until you can do it from memory. Try to condense information, so it's really easy to remember.
Good Luck!

APUSH Assignment Monday 9/22
WATCH ME FIRST!!!
As colonial Americans struggled to survive throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, it became clear that a reliable source of income was necessary. The colonists knew that self-sustaining commerce was the only way to guarantee survival and continued growth. One way the colonists achieved self-sufficiency was through the cultivation of tobacco in the southern colonies. However, the newly-developed tobacco plantation economy required a very large workforce and tremendous amounts of back-breaking labor. Ultimately, that workforce was acquired through slavery.
Could colonial American agriculture have developed as successfully without slavery?

After completing the discussion, post a response on this blog to the question, which is...
Could colonial American agriculture have developed as successfully without slavery?
